June 2013 Roundup

1st July 2013

June saw some weird and wonderful smartphones from a number of
manufacturers.

Samsung

A high-end camera with an Android tablet in the back, the Samsung
Galaxy NX features interchangeable lenses and a 20.3 effective
megapixel sensor, but it wasn't the only device of its type as Samsung
also announced the Samsung
Galaxy S4 Zoom, a compact digital camera with a fully-featured
smartphone in it.

Sony

The Sony
Xperia Z Ultra is really, really big and really, really powerful.
On the other hand - perhaps literally - the Sony
Smartwatch 2 carries many of your Android smartphone functions
across to your wrist. The Sony
Xperia M is a substantially more mainstream device with
a dual-SIM option.

HTC

The HTC
Butterfly has been launched quietly in a few markets worldwide,
and has since been followed up by the quite awesome HTC
Butterfly S which may or may not be coming to a market
near you. A lot more downmarket than this is the HTC
Desire 200 which might appeal if you are on a very tight
budget.
